Date of Birth: December 25, 1976
Height: 4'7"
Weight: 55 pounds
Characteristics: Causician(Italian)/Native American(Navajo) female. Brown hair; brown eyes. Cayedito has moles on her right cheek, nose, ankle and back. She has scars on her knee and lip.
CaseEdit

Details: Nine-year-old Anthonette Cayeditto disappeared on April 6, 1986. Police soon determined that she was most likely abducted in the middle of the night. However, no new leads surfaced until one year later when a call came in to the Gallup police department. The girl on the phone claimed to be her, and that she was in Albuquerque, but before she could say anything else, an unidentified male voice said, "Who said you could use the phone?", at that point she screamed and the call ended. Her mother was certain that the voice was her Anthonette's, but she still could not be located. Four years later, a Carson City waitress told police that she served a couple with a young girl, and that while she was there the girl intentionally pushed her fork off the table, and every time the waitress put it back on the table, the girl squeezed her hand. After they left, the waitress was cleaning the table when she found a napkin that said "Please help me! Call the police," One month later, detectives interviewed Anthonette's younger sister, Wendy, and she told them that a man knocked at the door in the middle of the night. She said that when Anthonette went to the door, she asked who the person was, and the man said that it was their Uncle Joe. When she opened the door, two men grabbed her and took her away. Police interviewed the real Uncle Joe and they ruled him out as a suspect. They believe that she was abducted by someone that was not a relative, but may have known them. Penny later went to a medicine woman who told her that Anthonette was alive and that she was being held against her will, and that she may have had a child. Despite this, she has never been found.
Suspects: Anthonette's abductors are believed to be two adult males, although the couple with the girl resembling her witnessed by the waitress were a man and a woman, who were described as rather unkempt.
Extra Notes: This case first aired on the December 23, 1992 episode.
Results: Unsolved. Investigators now believe that due to the passage of time, Anthonette is deceased. If she is still alive today, she would be thirty-eight years old.

i'm surprised someone would knock at 3am in the morning and that she would be awake, not sleeping, and open the door to a stranger. i'm surprised someone would abduct at 3 am in the morning.

why was she targetted anyhow?

I'm pretty sure there's an extensive thread on this somewhere. I believe her family knows what happened to her and are not being forthcoming.

My understanding is that they had a party that night, so the kids may have had trouble sleeping due to noise. The person at the door identified himself as her "Uncle Joe", and she didn't have any reason not to believe him. But I don't know why I bothered with that since you'll just claim she was abducted by a UFO or fell into a time warp or something.

I agree. Police wanted to question her mother on her deathbed, but didn't make it in time. That's always been very telling to me.

Do you think they wanted rid of her or were even offered money by someone who wanted her badly enough to pay to take her, but didn't want to be prosecuted for selling her so reported a false abduction? Could it have been set up in such a way that Anthonette herself believed she was abducted and didn't realize at the time she was sold? The sister who told the "Uncle Joe" story was about three years later and could have been coached to tell the police something intended to throw them off as they had not stopped asking! Might the sister now change her story now that she is no longer covering up for her mother?

I do believe Anthonette was sold. I really wish we could verify the report that Penny suddenly had an expensive sports car weeks after Anthonette was abducted. It's inconceivable to me how a mother could sell her child, Since there are reports Anthonette's family were involved in drugs I guess it's possible Penny got into debt and Anthonette was abducted as a punishment and warning to others to pay for your drugs. I've heard there is a insider on another forum on Anthonette's case, They didn't have very many nice things to say about Wendy, and apparently she's estranged form her older sister who apparently has more knowledge about the case.

If this is the case, I hope Anthonette was sold to a loving family who desperately wanted a child. Rather than into a human trafficking ring, after all Mexico is awfully close to New Mexico, I'd hate to think what could've happened if she ended up there.

Anthonette would be 38 years old today. She may resemble this age progression photo.

Yeah, that's scary, if some drug dealer got her they would sell her to someone really bad!

I have to say I may have changed my thinking on this one over the years. I used to believe the abduction scenario, but given certain revelations that have come up I think the family was involved somehow.

I just rewatched this. Weird, when that girl dropped the fork on the floor, the waitress picks it up and puts it back on the table?!?! How about getting her a clean fork lady?

I'm trying hard to not blame a 5 year old, but how did she think she would get in trouble for reporting her sister being kidnapped? Maybe I need to reread the other thread? I think I'm missing something.

That wouldn't apply. She's a restaurant worker, she's obligated to.
